At UDT 2025, ELWAVE presented the technical paper « Unlocking the Future of Underwater Surveillance with Ultra-Sensitive Wideband Electrometers » (lien identique à ESENSE TECHNICAL ARTICLE de la page products), introducing ESENSE, a new generation of ultra-sensitive underwater electric field sensors. The paper demonstrated how the exceptional sensitivity of ESENSE enables passive detection ranges from several hundred meters to kilometer-scale distances, depending on target type and environmental conditions.
As one of the most sensitive underwater electrometers currently available, ESENSE opens the door to new operational concepts that were previously impractical with electric field sensing. The presentation highlighted applications ranging from persistent harbor protection against UUV threats to distributed anti-submarine warfare architectures based on seabed stations, electrobuoys and autonomous platforms.
The paper generated numerous in-depth discussions with naval operators, system integrators and industry partners regarding the integration of electric field sensing into future multi-physics maritime surveillance systems. These exchanges confirmed the growing interest in electric sensing as a complementary observable alongside acoustic and magnetic technologies, enabling enhanced situational awareness and improved protection of critical underwater infrastructure.
